TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, if you are staying with American friends in Thailand, you need to deal with a TM30. It's required to report where you are living to immigration no later than 24 business hours after your arrival.

Tell the home owner to bring his blue house book, his id, and copy of your passport and TM6 departure card to the immigration office in Promenade mall in Chang Mai.
